FARR (Find And Run Robot) is a wonderful piece of software that has the ability of being extended with Plugins. TimeZone is just one of those Plugins.

TimeZone is built on the FScript Plugin that allows us to write FARR plugins in javaScript, vbScript, Ruby or Python natively.

The recent development of FARR and FScript has been fairly rapid and successive FScript releases extended the available functionality (great), and also created a bit of confusion (not so great).

The previous release of TimeZone updated the Plugin to the latest version of FScript.dll (1.19), but in the process some of the issues people were having with FScript and FSubScript became apparent.

One issue I was having was that the FARR window was left open after selecting a search result. This was partly due to returning a value of the correct type.

One of the problems with the FScript development has been that there has not been enough time for documentation, especially for the non-javaScript languages. Steps are in place to correct this, and to also bring the FScript Plugin into the main distribution of FARR. FARR is also about to get it's own wiki as well. This is great news for FARR Plugin writers!

Scribbly is derived from the common name of one of the 10 Eucalypts that have insect trails (scribbles) in the bark. Eucalyptus haemastoma is a dominant species where I live and is commonly known as "Scribbly Gum".

The scribbles on the bark of these magnificent trees often reminded me of the journey of many of my
projects: somewhat random, but beautiful in the end.
